Miss Marple leaves St. Mary Mead for a trip to London's elite, Victorian, and "too good to be true" Bertram's Hotel, where she used to spend her holidays as a child. Soon after her arrival, a maid is found murdered on the roof and Miss Marple tries to uncover the truth with the help of another maid. However, things take a strange turn when the hotel doorman is shot to death by a mysterious sniper, and some of the guests may be hiding more secrets than previously imagined.

Inspector Bird: I've just been speaking to the Rembrandt expert at the National Gallery. Apparently our fake is the worst kind of copy.
Mr Humfries: What's wrong with it?
Inspector Bird: It's the original. (edit)

In an early scene, a character asks for Room 412. This references a famous joke from one of Stan Freberg's routines "St George and the Dragonet" which was a #1 hit record in 1953 and was a popular in-joke at one time in acting circles. The joke's punchline - the Dragnet-style cop says "I've got you on a 412 as well." What's that, shouts the criminal. "Over-acting" replies the deadpan cop.
(edit)
In the opening, the hotel manager is on the telephone where he can be heard saying "Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today". This is a line from the 1934 Cole Porter song Miss Otis Regrets.
(edit)
Bertram's Hotel is names after Brown's hotel.
